Fiji Airways Flying Fijians Coach Vern Cotter says the All Blacks have a more powerful pack for this weekend.

Cotter says the All Blacks will apply pressure so it’s up to them to get their heads up and make sure that they defend their line with courage and passion.

He says the team has worked very hard on their weaknesses especially in defence which was exposed in the first match last weekend.

Cotter says they felt they scored three tries and normally when they score three tries against any opposition, it should be close to winning.

The team that will face the All Blacks tomorrow includes Peni Ravai, Sam Matavesi, Mesake Doge, Temo Mayanavanua, Leone Nakarawa {c}, Johnny Dyer, Mesulame Kunavula, Peceli Yato, Frank Lomani, Ben Volavola, Nemani Nadolo, Eneriko Buliruarua, Waisea Nayacalevu, Setareki Tuicuvu and Kini Murimurivalu.

The reserves are Mesulame Dolokoto, Eroni Mawi, Leeroy Atalifo, Albert Tuisue, Kitione Kamikamica, Moses Sorovi, Teti Tela and Manasa Mataele.

Fiji will play the All Blacks at 7.05pm tomorrow.
